wateralien··on Commodore 64 released September 1, 1982
This is a great question
wateralien··on Commodore 64 released September 1, 1982
Greetings, fellow old people.
wateralien··on Commodore 64 released September 1, 1982
I had a ZX Spectrum and learned Basic and played a ton of pirated games on that. My school had Commodore 64s - but I didn't use them much. They didn't really know how to teach for them and there was no hacking around allowed.
wateralien··on NeoBrowser: An MCP server that drives real Chrome with your logged-in sessions
Emdash detected
wateralien··on OpenLogi
Before AI you'd be saying it's a great website for a free and open source app.
wateralien··on Cursor launches Origin, GitHub alternative
The main thing that makes GitHub the default is that almost every other service considers it the default. Launching a better product won't change that.

Yeah same, Claude drives my (manually) signed-in sessions.
wateralien··on Physical Database
Each row is a resource (cage?), start peg = check-in, end peg = check-out. Peg color = month change. String (elastic band?) booking entry. String color combo maybe indicates booking status. Overlaps are immediately obvious. Hyper-centralised and susceptible to breakage or loose cat.

Unfortunate name for the project.
wateralien··on Show HN: I made a game where you build a CPU from logic gates
Just checked. Looking good!
wateralien··on AI-Generated Images Discourage Me from Reading Your Blog
100%. Uncanny valley but for food. Or anything else.
wateralien··on AI-Generated Images Discourage Me from Reading Your Blog
I agree. The human experience is the only thing that matters. If AI tries to replace or supersede that, then it's bad AI.
wateralien··on AI-Generated Images Discourage Me from Reading Your Blog
Human slop is a much better kind. There were still humans involved.

> You're setting yourself up for a lonely life.

What a ridiculous conclusion jump.

It's the complete opposite of that. I prefer human things, human interaction, with human beings involved, which in some way reflect the human experience.

wateralien··on AI-Generated Images Discourage Me from Reading Your Blog
AI-generated images discourage me from interacting with any entity AT ALL. Bar / restaurant posters, events, shops, anything. Because it makes the brand appear lazy. And in a weird way "anti-human". I don't have a better word than that.

Very nice. Tips: You don't need the different design states (select, wire, delete) just have one and make it work contextually. Also remove the play button. Just have it always playing.
wateralien··on Cyrus is team multiplayer coding agents on your own infra in Linear and Slack
I have installed the self-hosted free proxy-less version with Linear and its great. The speed unlock in being able to co-locate the task list and the execution of it, especially with a team, is non-trivial. And having many of them running on multiple tasks at the same time, with team multiplayer, is great.

I assign an issue to Cyrus, it executes, we back and forth for a bit, it pushes to Github, I check the preview on Vercel from the link it comes back with. I tell it to merge. And repeat.

I'm not affiliated in any way, BTW.

wateralien··on Hacker wipes Romania's land registry database
Fair enough. But you do realize that all ownership is a made-up shared fiction that most people believe as real.
wateralien··on How version control will evolve for the agent boom
We need to store CHOICES with the commit or branch. Not the whole session. Conscious, summarized choices
wateralien··on Rocketlab acquires Iridium
“Rocket Lab” not “RocketLab”. Although I think the latter is better.
wateralien··on Rocketlab acquires Iridium
This is a good question for SpaceX too.
wateralien··on MaralGPT "Mythos" 9B just released, and this is why I'm proud of my project
Getting to the top of HN seems to have crashed this site. Currently.

wateralien··on Mechanical Watch (2022)
Are we allowed to see it again?
wateralien··on Free SQL→ER diagram tool, runs in the browser, nothing uploaded
You have linked to a paid, closed-source product. There are hundreds. OP has shared a free and open-source project.
wateralien··on I'm Tired of Talking to AI
One of the most amazing things happened during the day long power cut in 2025 in Spain and Portugal... eventually the cell towers went down and everyone just went to the parks and socialised. Connected with friends, strangers. Everyone was so in the moment because there was nowhere else to be, nothing else to distract them. People would pick up their phone and realise there was nothing there for them and put it back down and continue chatting. People were present in a way I've never seen in these places before. It was pretty magical.
wateralien··on Flipper One – we need your help
Some projects are meant to scope creep. Like this one. If the project manager of the swiss army knife had defended it from scope creep it would have 1 knife.
wateralien··on Google officially announces that ads will be included in AI Mode search results
So the web is now pay to play.
wateralien··on Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged
Deno's approach from the beginning seems to have proven out.
wateralien··on Warp is now open-source
100,000% I loved it when it was JUST good at terminal rendering. Ghostty alternative. Not a crazy bloatware AI play.
